Direct from the Eastern Block Scientific Research Directorate:
Theory of ‘Track’ Evolution
A subset of Interplanetary Evolutionary Biology
The nature, physical and chemical, of organic molecules provide life with a
finite number of genetic traits that can be evolved. Furthermore, they are
arranged in a tree like order, such that evolution of one trait disables and
enables the evolution of further traits. This gives rise to a inter-planetary
division of life, such that plants from one planet will resemble plants from
another planet, even if such planets have no direct contact, given that the
planets have similiar conditions. It is the role of the Interplanetary
Evolutionary Biologist to track different traits and how they organize into
orders, families, and species. It is because of Track Evolution that
intelligent species tend towards higher apes, as it is within the evolutionary
‘track’ of primates to develop intelligence.

thought this might be an interesting thought.

| (...) So, you wanna run with the big dogs, do you Jr Marshal? I would argue that life has a finite number genetic traits for any one population. However, space offers infinite possibilites. The combination of even the smallest changes in environment (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Which came first the chicken track or the egg track? :-) I'd also like to tackle the bandying around of the word infinity in this discussion. To have infinite combinations of molecules you'd first need an infinite number of molecules. I think (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
